Visit SadieBess Handpicked Vintage on Etsy

Monday, June 16, 2014

I was very sad to hear that comedian Rik Mayall passed away last week. I loved to hate his character on The Young Ones, but later developed a serious crush on him after seeing him in Drop Dead Fred. I'm posting this clip of Motorhead doing Ace of Spades on The Young Ones as a tribute, because it's my all time favorite musical number from the show, and Rik himself leads it off and closes it (at least the way the the person who posted this YouTube clip edited it). RIP Rik. Gone way too soon.

About SadieBess

I'm a long time thrift store junkie, lover of music, appreciator of the absurd. My vintage obsession has turned into an Etsy shop called SadieBess, where I sell clothing and home decor from the 50s through the early 90s.
